Son­ny Blacks, a name and an in­di­vid­ual not as wide­ly known in the gen­er­al pop­u­la­tion of T&T as he is among ca­lyp­so­ni­ans, pan­men, and steel­band lead­ers, has spent over 50 years pro­duc­ing and pro­mot­ing the best of our cul­tur­al artistes.

His work has tak­en these tal­ents on per­form­ing tours across Eng­land and con­ti­nen­tal Eu­rope, spread­ing the ap­pre­ci­a­tion of the na­tion­al in­stru­ment and de­pict­ing the folk art and cul­ture of T&T.

“Spar­row, Rud­der, Black Stal­in, Rene­gades, Pan Am North Stars, Trinidad All Stars” are among the ca­lyp­so­ni­ans and steel­bands Son­ny has fea­tured in his shows and pro­duc­tions. How­ev­er, it did not be­gin in such grand fash­ion for the boy from south-east Port-of-Spain in the 1940s.
